The Original Pancake House

The Original Pancake House, established in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke in Portland, Oregon, has grown into a renowned chain of breakfast restaurants celebrated for their commitment to quality and authentic recipes.

With over 100 locations across the United States, the brand has expanded its reach internationally, including franchises in Canada, Japan, and South Korea.

The restaurant's menu is distinguished by its use of premium ingredients, such as 93-score butter, pure 36% whipping cream, fresh Grade AA eggs, hard wheat unbleached flour, and a proprietary sourdough starter.

This dedication to quality results in batters and sauces that are freshly prepared in each kitchen daily.

Signature Dishes

Signature dishes include the Apple Pancake, a large pancake topped with sautéed apples and cinnamon sugar, baked to create a rich cinnamon glaze, and the Dutch Baby, an oven-baked German pancake served with lemon, whipped butter, and powdered sugar.
